Why Wing It? The Power of Preparation (Video)

It’s amazing what you can find to do when you should, in fact, be preparing for your Big Thing.

If you’re a procrastinator, you’re not alone – not by a long shot. We’ve all been there, right?
Avoiding the hard work in favor of the last minute, half-hearted hustle.
Not really trying because then we can’t really fail.
Telling ourselves (and everyone else) that we’ll just ‘wing it’ and hope for the best.

But here’s the thing: whether you’re prepping for a TED talk, a 2-minute acceptance speech, or an impromptu piano performance, every day and every interaction is an opportunity to share your best self and spread your message. It’s best to be prepared.

P.S. Do you have something coming up that requires a bit of preparation? This could help. Want some one-one-one coaching like my acceptance speech client? I can help with that, too.
